Bindings

Paperback (perfect-bound)

A glued, square spine with the title on it. Takes 32 to 800 pages. The usual choice for a book you’d sell.

Stapled (saddle-stitched)

Folded sheets stapled through the spine, like a magazine. Takes 4 to 48 pages. Good for short books and booklets, and the only binding for books under 32 pages.

Page counts are printed pages, padded to a whole sheet. If your book doesn’t fit either binding, the print flow says how many pages to add or remove.

Inside pages

• Coloring books and puzzle books print in black and white on white paper — line art the way it should be coloured.
• Storybooks print in colour, with a standard and a premium colour option where the format allows.

A book can have up to 100 printed pages; a colour book up to 48.

Cover finish

Every cover is laminated: choose matte (soft, low-glare, hides fingerprints) or gloss (shiny, deeper colours). The cover is the one you designed in the cover editor, with the spine sized to the binding and page count.
